An anti-reflective ITO coating can be applied to plastic substrates to provide optimal optical properties. Anti-reflective coatings offer improved optical performance by reducing reflection and glare. This special Non-reflective, photographic acrylic is ideal for use in galleries, exhibitions, shops and the home where the strong lighting can often cause irritating glare which detracts from the […]

Polycarbonate hard coatings are an ideal solution to many modern applications that require a more lightweight material with higher impact resistance, at a lower cost, than ITO coated glass substrates can offer. Polycarbonates are a group of thermoplastic polyesters regularly used in the manufacturing industry. This plastic offers a range of features including impact resistance, […]

ITO Plastic is a market leading supplier of ITO coated PET (polyester) film, acrylic and polycarbonate. ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) can be used to coat plastic substrates such as acrylic, polycarbonate or polyester (PET) film. Polyester film or PET film, is composed of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is a high-performance, transparent thermoplastic. PET films are […]

At the point of development, ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) coatings could be applied exclusively onto glass substrates, so ITO plastic coating was not an available option. Achieving low sheet resistances while simultaneously maintaining optical clarity could only be achieved at extremely high deposition temperatures, previously a minimum temperature of 190° C/374° F. At first, the […]

ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) is a transparent conducting oxide that can be applied to films, glass and plastic substrates as a coating. ITO can be used to coat plastic substrates such as acrylic, polycarbonate or polyester film for a variety of beneficial effects that have applications across many industries. Polycarbonate Polycarbonates are a group of […]

ITO coated PET film offers an outstanding combination of properties that makes it perfect for myriads of applications across a diversity of global industries., Here are some of the properties and applications of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) ITO coated films. Polyethylene Terephthalate Film Properties & Applications An either bubble extruded (“blown”) or biaxially oriented (i.e. stretched […]
